Mr. Eric Alsmeyer.

Mr. Alsmeyer:
Orange County, Temporary Access for Silt Removal in Barrel #3 of Orange County
Bridge # C-78
ie North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct a temporary 20-
A long by 15-feet wide access road over a secondary drainage to Booker Creek. The temporary
cess road will be used to facilitate passage of equipment to remove silt blocking flow through
rrel # 3 of the I VX11' RC box culvert designated as Bridge # C-78 (See attached construction
quence and diagram). As soon as practicable following silt removal the temporary access road will
removed, the disturbed streambank will be repaired, and seed and mulch will be distributed as
eded. Because the current substrate is boulder/cobble embedded rip-rap will not be removed. No
'etlands, High Quality Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project area.
NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 33. Enclosed
se find the project site map and the pre-construction notification form for the above referenced
-ct. By copy of this letter we are also requesting a General Water Quality Certification #3114
i the NC Division of Water Quality. The project is anticipated to begin within two weeks
wing permit approval and should be completed in 2 days.
Ityou have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Len Smith or Dennis
J hnson at [phone]. Thank you for your time and assistance.
